 * Hi. My personal blog is hosted at godaddy. A few days ago they moved my hosting
   account ‘on to the grid’ which speeded things up from the front-end. Yay!
 * But since then I have had a bucketload of problems with the back-end. Boo!
 * * When I create a post and save it as draft and call it back to edit it, I can’t
   publish it. I get Zero Sized Reply messages or 500 messages. It’s just the final
   execute that brings this. When I recover to my admin panel the original draft
   message is still in drafts, unedited.
    * The media uploaders don’t work. Same
   result. I select media to upload and on commit (after a long pause) I get Zero
   Sized Reply or 500 messages. * When I hit ‘add new post’ the template takes a
   long time to *completely* load. It appears almost immediately, but something 
   in the background doesn’t come down; Firefox and IE both show ‘waiting’ signals.
   It can take up to 4 minutes for the template to completely load.
 * Last night, in a fit of desperation, I deleted the entire website and all wordpress
   content. Then I installed wordpress 3.01 (all I had to hand).
 * This morning with WP3.01 I got exactly the same problems, except the media uploader
   did give me a button that did something when I pushed it, but after selecting
   the media file it gave me the same pile of error messages.
 * I’ve just upgraded to WP3.1 which has put me right back to where I’ve been for
   the last few days. Media uploader buttons that don’t work, can’t edit saved posts,
   slow-to-load admin functions and, on commit, Zero Sized Reply and 500 errors.
 * Can anyone suggest what I need to do to make life go back to normal please?
 * Thanks.
 * The blog is at [http://brennigjones.com/blog](http://brennigjones.com/blog)
 * p.s. I have no plugins in the current installation.

 * Sounds like a server problem. Contact GoDaddy.

 * Thanks Esmi. It looks like the change has created a new absolute path. It used
   to be one thing. Now it’s something else. And apparently – or so I’ve been told–
   I’ll need to manually enter the new absolute path.
 * Do you have any ideas where/how I should put the new absolute path, and which
   files I should edit?

 * That’s not something you can do. It’s a server issue and should have been sorted
   when your hosts moved your site.
